Thanks for reading. I think I’m not always sure what to do or where to start- especially with something like this. I think I will continue to carve safe, creative spaces and be grateful for their existence. In terms of something larger, I have a wiling heart and I’m listening...just not exactly where and how to roar in a way that helps
This is beautifully written Mary and you’re touching on important subjects here. Thank you so much for sharing this.
We must all that individual responsibility for our healing so that we do not bleed on those that did not cut us. All the issues we face in the world today can seem overwhelming if we’re trying to fix them with a silver bullet, because there isn’t one. I think healing is a journey for each of us and it takes time. Change will happen over time, not over night. The most compassionate thing we can do is to heal ourselves and come back to the wholeness of our being. From that space we can connect with others more beautifully with an open heart and as a result begin to create positive ripple effects across our networks, society, country, the world ❤️
I also think to heal we must take action. And when someone is too hurt or powerless it is important for us, the bystanders to take action. Otherwise for the victims and their families it is as if they didn't matter. And next time it might be us.
Thank you for writing this and being willing to take a stand.
